LAS VEGAS (AP) - The 2005 World Series of Poker champion says
he's lost all respect for a new brand of extremely aggressive poker
players who seem to want to gamble all their chips on every hand in
the main event.

Joe Hachem said after two hours of poker on Monday that the pace
hasn't slowed down at the no-limit Texas Hold 'em tournament
because many players are willing to risk their tournament with
mediocre hands.

Play started with 185 players and 38 were eliminated in two
hours, despite starting with many chips relative to minimum bets.

Hachem says the overaggressive style is disrespectful to the
tournament, its history and the $8.55 million prize.

Hachem is one of two former main event champions left in the
tournament, along with last year's winner Peter Eastgate.

In other words, he's having trouble dealing with them. He should coauthor Hellmuth's next book.

Joe Hachem: "I hate when players put pressure on me and force me into making tough decisions cause they see that I'm playing weak/wussy tight and nitty. Why can't they just wait till I have the nuts and THEN go all in??..."

Kind of off topic but im glad eastgate is making another deep run. And as far as hachem saying that, that was a huge mistake because if he makes it any farther people are just gonna be betting all over him.

If only he'd had success at a younger age like Hellmuth. They really could go head to head with these types of ridiculous comments. As it stands Hachem is trailing by a wide margin.

i think hachem just gave the green light to just about everyone to apply as much pressure on him as possible, just knowing hes tilting hard inside

Brilliant analysis. Clearly correct, given how terrible Hachem has done in the ME.

As far as the OP, I don't know if it's disrespectful, but the entire thing is pretty comical. Reading the updates, it's pretty clear nobody has much interest in playing poker, the entire thing is one big shove-fest once half the field goes busto. You have people moving all in for for 650,000 over an open of 45000. People are open shoving 50xBB stacks with 99, it's insane.

Mods, please edit the title...it is completely misleading and inaccurate.
And this means what exactly?

"Hachem says the overaggressive style is disrespectful to the
tournament, its history and the $8.55 million prize."
